...manufacturers to dump into the hands of busy practitioners any and all types of good and bad drugs and devices, and let them learn, at the expense and peril of their patients, whether they are any help. With over 200,000 physicians and their patients as potential prey, the result would be untold harm...
...Compared Khrushchev, who recently claimed that the Soviet Union would outproduce the U.S. by 1970, to "the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger's skin" before the prey is caught. "This tiger," said Kennedy, in a punning reference to Washington's nickname for him, "has other ideas." Putting aside his campaign complaints that the U.S. could not afford a growth rate slower than Russia's, the President argued that if both countries' present rates are maintained (3½% for the U.S., 6% for the Soviet Union), then "Soviet...

Once in the water it does not need to be aimed; it "homes" on its victim, following its evasive twisting far into the depths...
...nightfall their wired moth began to detect the ultrasonic cries of bats. From the traces on their oscillograph, the biologists could tell whether an invisible bat was approaching or flying away. Later, when Roeder and Treat turned on a powerful floodlight, they could watch the bats diving on their prey and hear, through the captive moth's ear, the bats' searching sonar beeps and their final triumphant buzz. Sometimes they saw free-flying moths take evasive action, but the motions of both hunter and hunted were too fast to follow with the naked human...
